STEP
About us
STEP (Sex trafficking direct service providers) is a subcommittee of the Multnomah County Sex Trafficking Collaborative. STEP is made up of community based non-profits who support individuals who have experienced sex trafficking. The group was formed in response to a grant, but has continued to meet beyond the duration of the grant funding.
The goal of this team is to bring together community providers to better enhance and coordinate our services to support those who have experienced sex trafficking.
Current Priorities:
Prevention,
Decriminalization, and
Reducing barriers
Current Initiatives:
Providing support to other STEP members
Supporting the efforts of the Community Advisory Board
